*Detroit, MI – In an electrifying night that celebrated the legacy of one of music’s greatest icons, Stevie Wonder officially joined the ranks of legends at the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.

The sold-out crowd at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena was treated to a spectacular performance featuring Wonder’s timeless hits, bringing the audience to its feet in a night of joy and nostalgia.

The momentous occasion marked Wonder’s official induction into the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2019. Although he was unable to attend the ceremony in 2019, he was honored to be enshrined by the late Mary Wilson, a founding member of The Supremes, in his hometown—a significant milestone for both Wonder and the organization.

“I am truly grateful to be here and to finally receive this honor,” Wonder said, expressing his appreciation to the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame and its founder, LaMont Robinson. “The importance of preserving our musical legacy is vital, and this Hall of Fame plays a crucial role in that mission.”

Robinson emphasized the significance of presenting Wonder with his induction award in Detroit, stating, “This is a monumental moment for the Hall of Fame and for all of us who have been inspired by Stevie’s incredible contributions to music.”

Since its inception in 2010, the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame has enshrined over 300 world-renowned artists, celebrating the rich history and impact of Rhythm and Blues.

The Hall recently inducted its 13th class in Cleveland, Ohio, continuing its mission to honor the legends who have shaped the genre.

Looking ahead, Robinson and his board are actively working to secure a physical home for the Hall of Fame, aiming to create a permanent space where the legacy of artists like Wonder can be celebrated and preserved for generations to come.
